A Fun Project For Beginners

[gene-messer]

Iam always looking for fun projects for beginners and here's one that will help you practice on faces ...

Get a basswood Goose egg ( you can get them at most craft stores) and just carve a variety of faces on all sides of it ..

I sat down the other night at the plant and just had fun doing this ..

All it takes is a knife and it allows for alot of practice on simple faces ...

Hope you enjoy a sample ..

I like the one with all the little faces like they're trying to get out of that little piece of wood. Thanks for a great idea !

LOVED those little samples, Gene!....and it's a super idea....If there's one thing I could use practice on, it's faces. Thanks! Bonnie
